		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;EAST DENNIS, Massachusetts (Reuters) – Halliburton Co (HAL.N), the world&#039;s second-largest oilfield services company, posted a better-than-expected quarterly profit on Monday, boosting its shares, but it warned that North American natural gas markets were likely to stay weak through the end of the year.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Notably absent (in the rest of the story as well), is how Halliburton no longer has the vice-president shilling for him and the draw-down in Iraq has lessened the demand for whatever overpriced &quot;services&quot; were rendered there. To describe it only as &quot;The world&#039;s second-largest oilfield services company,&quot; is more than just a little disingenuous.</description>

		<description>Jindal &quot;knows something about healthcare.&quot;  I wonder if he knows that from 1992 through 2006, Medicare costs per patient in his state stayed at the third highest in the country, behind only New York and New Jersey (even Mass. had lower costs).  What exactly did he do as the head of the Dept. of Health and Hospitals, or as Governor, that did anything to impact these high costs?

		<description>If President Obama&#039;s poll numbers have slipped on healthcare, &lt;strong&gt;it&#039;s only because he keeps watering down his own bill and making concessions with Republicans that are helping to ensure any reform that does pass does little or nothing to fix problems inherit in the system.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Good morning youngsters....So much to comment on and so little energy to tackel it all...Please forgive the spelling errors and poor sentance structure about to happen...Most of you know me after reading my bleeding heart liberal rants almost from the beginning of this forum, I hope you will indulge me this morning and even if I piss you all off atleast read and think on what I have to write, just as I do with all the regulars here...Agree, disagree but think...

I have come to think all the polatician&#039;s in our gov. and Israels are nothing more than slum lord&#039;s...Gobble up the money, do as they please, lie to us and every one around the world, creating war&#039;s and killing people by intent or design.. Like slum lords they use the money to advance their personal issues and fix nothing for the renter&#039;s but create more misery....Changing from crazed reich winger&#039;s to do the same or nothing dem&#039;s makes little diffrence....Only the word&#039;s and appearance of change is fact...Pretty speeches to appease the masses and use up time and suck away or print more money is all these people do...

I ask you realy, what has changed? We are still supporting 4 war&#039;s..Netanyahoo( intent.) the warmonger is calling all the shot&#039;s and no one is even attempting to cut Israels fund&#039;s for war or the genocide on their neighbor&#039;s, much less demanding they open their borders for aid to Gaza and Palestine..Shame on you Clinton and Obama for not doing your job...

Our own gov is still using drone&#039;s to wipe out wedding parties around the word and acting indignent when one of our own is captured and yet our gov. has tortured and still hold&#039;s people like barbarians of hundred&#039;s of year&#039;s ago..Jeebos, they make me sick...Let&#039;s see that would be a shame on you Obama for hiring gates and leaving more reich winger&#039;s in charge of the &quot;forever war&quot;..

They kill horses don&#039;t they.?  Yes, horses, people and anything including spirits of future generations, babies even, and let it pass with more flowery speeches and fighting over health care or what ever they think will appease us for a short time.  Yep! they gobble up the money and waste time to feed their master&#039;s the bank&#039;s, lobbiest , big insurance and more polatician&#039;s...But never mind true civil right&#039;s, like being able to live, eat and work...The slum lord&#039;s will not fix the bridge&#039;s or feed the hungry children, instead we are fed new&#039;s crap and allow all our new&#039;s to be controled by one or two more slum lords,,, and people die.

Just how many back there in the kingdom of polatician&#039;s do you think are truly working for the people, our constitution, ending war&#039;s and feeding the truly hungry.?..My count is one..Dennis Kucenich...What have we become.? Where are we going.?...Only the names have changed with a D or R after their name&#039;s..Palosi is still taking impeachment off the table and Obama is following through with blocking investigation&#039;s....So the guilty still get to play in the massive game of only moving deck chairs on the titanic....Take the money and run, fill the masses head&#039;s with garbage in garbage out and pretend they are doing their job of protecting the people and constitution all the while, killing the thought process of the public...The perfect plan is here...They have removed the back bone, thinking and will of the people...With out even firing a shot we are being controled, spied on and all our resourses and reasoning is being controled by the piss ant&#039;s in DC and their helpful new&#039;s whore&#039;s ....Ugh...We need more than Blessings here....I&#039;m hoping for a miracle...</description>

		<description>If Jindal really does have some ideas on health care, now&#039;s the time to speak up.  However, if he&#039;s going to be using media avenues such as Hannity to communicate these ideas, I&#039;m not holding out much hope that we&#039;re going to hear anything except the tired old GOP leftovers (which will be about 10% &quot;ideas&quot; of giving the health insurance industry and Big Pharma more money and power, and about 90% attacking the &quot;socialism&quot; of President Obama&#039;s plan).</description>

		<description>Oh good grief!  Now we have Mark Kirk in the Senate race in Illinois -- this is the Senator who went to China and told them not to believe the American government.
The Dems should play that video non-stop for the coming year.</description>

And this is why a two-state solution is ultimately doomed to failure.  The only hope for a lasting peace is a one-state solution.  Wipe Israel off the map, wipe Palestine off the map, and create one secular, multi-religious, multi-ethnic state in which all people can live on either side of the green line.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA) is preparing to reemerge on the national stage by taking on the issue of health care.&lt;/em&gt; 

Jindal is not exactly a friend to healthcare right now.  Just last month...

&lt;em&gt;&quot;Gov. Bobby Jindal used his line-item veto authority Tuesday to eliminate $14.2 million the Legislature had earmarked for the New Orleans Adolescent Hospital, a move that means the Uptown mental facility is likely to close by Sept. 1.&quot; (The Times Picayune, 01 July 2009)&lt;/em&gt;

Look, post-Katrina, mental health services in Southeast Louisiana are almost nil, and this he thinks is a good idea?  Now, families that were able to receive treatment in New Orleans will have to travel north of Lake Pontchartrain to the only other facility in the region serving adolescent mental health needs.  That hospital is not equipped to take any influx of this size...and sadly, many of the families - in this economy - cannot afford the time or expense of that kind of travel, and may likely forgo treatment.

Well done, Gov. Jindal...aren&#039;t you proud of yourself?</description>
